SQL syntax error
- by Robert
Im using Microsoft SQL Server which I think is T-SQL or ANSI SQL.
I want to search a database with a string. The matches that fit the begging of the string should come first then sort alphabetically.
I.e. If the table contains FOO, BAR and RAP
a search for the string 'R' should yield:
RAP
BAR
In that order.
Here is my attempt:
SELECT Name
FROM MyTable
WHERE (Name LIKE '%' + @name + '%')
ORDER BY (IF(Name LIKE @name + '%',1,0))
The error message is: "must declare scalar variable @name"
